The ArT of AndY wArhol“BoTTiCCeli’S VenuS”Center display, designed by don davidsonCreated and decorated by fiesta parade floats

in a striking tribute to the American pop Art movement of the 1960’s South Coast plaza presents the art of Andy warhol. famous for pushing the artistic envelope of his time, warhol emerged at the forefront of the new movement. with commercial products and celebrities as his subjects, he became a cultural icon and worldwide celebrity. from Campbell’s Tomato Soup cans to Marilyn Monroe, Chairman Mao to flowers, his paintings and silkscreens reflect that amazing time.

Andy warhol painting, Botticcelli’s Venus, is held aloft on a massive artist’s easel soaring nearly 20 feet tall. This is warhol’s portrait interpretation of the equally famous italian renaissance painting of Venus by Sandro Botticelli, commissioned by the famed Medici family of florence, italy.

The interpretation of warhol’s Venus is created with a unique combination of paint and floral materials. Venus’ flowing hair is fashioned with a harmonizing blend of dehydrated safflower, red bell pepper and carrot flakes with accents of gold strawflowers. golden hybrid Vanda orchids, orange lilies and exotic opal parakeet heliconias create the 3-dimesional effect.

walnut shell, cinnamon spice and paprika make up the skin tone and shading. Black chive and deep brown flax seeds create the background of the famous painting.

Below, beneath the artist’s easel, a stack of unfinished painter canvases featuring thoughts and ideas “painted” with brilliant hues of roses, gerberas, anthuriums and lilies, accented with a myriad of contrasting vibrant blooms and floral textures.
